I understand what ur saying, but it's not so bad. I've enjoyed helping people, and others helping me. One bad word won't hurt us. It doesn't make it right, just not enough to get all upset......

If I were single, and my girlfriend's bday conflicted with a race day I would get another girlfriend. Just kidding of course, take care of what takes care of you!

Bring your race face because Alfredo is cleaning house in Sportsman every week. Someone has to give that a run for his money.

I won't be there on Wednesday, but talk to Gil if he is there. He has a small black trailer with Losi logos on it. If he isn't there, ask Bart "the guy who runs the races most of the time" to point you in the direction of a knowledgeable Losi guy. Actually, Bart maybe able to help too because he use to run Losi and knows the car very well. Hopefully you can get it sorted out on Wednesday night.

Hope to see you on Saturday? BTW, what is your name?

Talking racing

Isn't this a G rated show??

Hmm. If the diff is out of the car, hold the diff gear (center of diff) and move the out drives back and forth. The opposite one should move basically at the same time. If you notice there is say a 2 hour difference in movement, then I would say you diff gears are in need or replacement.

There is some movement in this process, but, not a lot.

Check the teeth on the outside of the diff. Do any look like they are really warn?? Shinny, but, chipped. smooth and not rough..


Give that a look see.

I'm not saying this to be disrespectful but You your self say your a novice just let some one that can shim do your work. Sorry but if you don't no what shims are you shouldn't even think of setting up your rear diff Watch them & learn (WE all were Novice at some point) I have ran LOSI many years and would never change brands at this point in time because losi has great support & even a better product than most

GOOD LUCK
